The First Generation Lexus LS400 is considered by automotive experts to be perhaps the most reliable car ever made. Lexus is always at the top of Consumer Reports and JD Powers quality lists. They highly recommend the LS400 as a top choice for a used vehicle. The engine and transmission on a properly cared for LS400 routinely lasts for 400, 000 miles, 500, 000 miles and more. The timeless Lexus styling still looks good today. With any higher mileage car, the most important things to consider are condition and maintenance history. The car has 255, 000 miles but you would never know it because it is in great condition. The miles are interstate highway miles that I accumulated while working as an architect on buildings in cities around the state. If the miles concern you, do a Google search for “Million Mile Lexus.” Or do what Click and Clack on Car Talk recommend. “Buy it based on its condition and put a piece of tape over the odometer.” I have owned this car for over 24 years and have taken meticulous care of it. People constantly are commenting that it looks like new. I have been retired for 16 years now and I have only been driving the car for about 1500 miles per year. The leather interior is in amazing shape, no stains or rips. It has always been garaged and has been maintained better than the manufacturer’s recommendations. The Silvermist Metallic paint shines like new. It has never been smoked in. I had a private parking space at my office. So no door dings. I never drove it in winter because I also have an SUV. The climate control system and all accessories work as they should it drives like a dream. The V8 engine is powerful and yet is so smooth and quiet it is hard to tell when it is running. It does not use any oil. I usually get over 20 MPG average. Transmission shifts smoothly. There is no rust anywhere on the car. The tires have less than 15, 000 miles on them and are warranted for 40, 000 miles. Air conditioning works great and was recently upgraded to current standards. It even has a built in hands free phone. It has driver’s side air bag and anti-lock brakes. I have all the maintenance records. The original Lexus Tool Kit and First Aid Kit are still with the car. So are all the original Owner’s Manuals. It comes with 2 remote keys and 1 regular key. You are welcome and encouraged to ask questions and to inspect the vehicle yourself. Most recent maintenance includes: Oil and filter, tire rotation and multi-point inspection. Air conditioning compressor, dryer and fittings. New fuel pump. Spark plugs and wires New Battery. New power steering pump and alternator. Fill and flush transmission fluid. New timing belt and water pump at 231, 000 miles. Repairs have been few since the car is so reliable. Cost to repair is not that expensive since many parts are standard for other Toyotas. This is an opportunity to buy an amazing car from a long time owner with the complete history. This is a great deal of car for the money. Terms of Sale:
